Why are there so many double-posted threads on this site? I replied to this already in the regex forum. Granted, the regex forum doesn't seem to be the right forum for this question, but that's where I saw it first.

Because people think if they post the same question across multiple forums they will get a reply sooner. There are also no moderators active on this forum so the cross-posted questions are not removed or moved into the correct forum.
